Buying appliances can be like buying clothes and wanting the new appliance on the market. Example Nutrabullet. I remember when it first came out in the 90's/2000's and we had one gifted to us and I used it once and not again.

| My Kitchen and like to watching something on my laptop when having a meal |
I have a food processor and whilst pregnant it fell off and hit me in the back, because the bottom of appliance didn't stick to the surface as it should and the fan oven went on the blink and so now we use the #Airfryer it has been a real change and saves so much time. Not Sponsored, but if it was offered would accept.
When it comes to appliances I hate it when it takes so long to clean and we have a supposedly non stick pan but things still stick to it. We had a toasted sandwich maker, cup cake maker and an automatic tin opener and just took up so much space.
Like clothes I find you can get an overloaded kitchen. I got into baking and did a Cake Making Course and it cost me more to make cakes for the course than the fee to take the course. I am not a baker and I like writing. I'd rather buy a cake, but I do enjoy making dinners and planning meals, but baking no. In fact I have Kitchen Aid that has been in my cupboard for about 4 years and not moved and we do have a slow cooker but that is a must and I love using my slow cooker.
What does your kitchen mean to you? A kitchen is to me personal space, like a bathroom where you love doing your skincare and soak in the tub with a nice shower gel. I love having a Coffee and Tea area, my food cupboard and it is set up on what we like to eat and cook. I love to watch a bit of Youtube, Music or a audio book and have space to do that. I like combining my Kitchen with things I enjoy when sitting down and takes the feeling of a chore away and have things at easy reach and the appliances we use, is The Kettle, Airfryer and toaster.
It is good to go through your appliances and utensils to and have what you know your going to use.
There are always a new appliance and when pregnant with my son and couldn't sleep well would watch info commercials and would buy items from Ideal Home and Bid TV and it can be so enticing that before you know it you have half of John Lewis in your kitchen.
Our oven, cooker, fridge and freezer and microwave are all built in, but have gone faulty and our washing machine is in there too. When I can have my own home I'd like to have a separate laundry room and we live mainly in the living room or garden.
I'd like a built in microwave and oven as they do save space and have a separate set of hobs and a separate fridge with a freezer.
Watching Youtube many people have a coffee machine. I like instant coffee, percolated so have a cafetiere and the cartons of cold coffee and would be a waste for us. I like to once a week go to a coffee shop and at the weekends and have coffee shop APPs so I can have a free coffee and something we like to do.
So go through your appliances and if they are in good condition then why not to sell or like my mums neighbours as if anyone would like it so its not a complete waste as it could be suitable for some families and people.
I like a clear surface and I am gradually letting go of some appliances as they can be hard to let go.
